I'm thinking of putting two small tanks on either side of my 90" mixed reef. Originally i was going to plump it into the tank.. but I'm thinking that might be overkill. That is, if the Mangrove tanks don't need filtration in the first place. These "tanks" would be more like shallow 5-10 gallon acrylic planters.
Now, I'd like to put some nano fish in there as well. Masked gobies or perhaps striped clingfish? Or a pistol shrimp/goby pair? I'm not sure at the moment.
Would the mangrove tanks need water changes or other filtration? Or will it filter the water enough to sustain itself? I assume it would need top-off due to evap, but I'm not sure beyond that.
Thoughts?
